Out here on my own
A little twisted in the saddle
Went up the creek, drifted downstream without a paddle
Oh, I gotta go
Before the plan unravels
Can't turn back now, looks like I'm headed into battle
Defend my life and I will always keep on fighting for it
Seems that's what they want from me
Just won't let me be
Oh, you wanna know
Everywhere that I travel
Well, don't look now, coming in hot without a rattle
He swung low, yeah
Between the oak and the devil
And all that guilt was gone before the rope unraveled
Defend my life and I will always keep on fighting for it
Seems that's what they want from me
Just won't let me be
Don't think you'll ever know
Just how far I go
To get it right, the more you take away
And you may care for me
Say you're there for me
But you decide, go and lead the way
Defend my life and I will always keep on fighting for it
Seems that's what they want from me
Just won't let me be
